7.19.1 ident variables

The standard script defines the following pair of redefinable variables:

hot_ident_ids : set[string]

usernames to flag as sensitive if they appear in an Ident reply.

Default: always_hot_ids (See: hot-ids Module).

hot_ident_exceptions : set[string]

usernames not to consider sensitive even if they appear in hot_ident_ids.

Default: { "uucp", "nuucp", "daemon", }. These usernames are exceptions because daemons sometimes run with the given user ids and their use is often innocuous.
